The process of Complete Dentistry involves understanding the masticatory system of your patient. When followed correctly, a diagnosis and treatment plan can be created to provide optimal health within the masticatory system. This can include a combination of reshaping, repositioning, and restoring of teeth to fulfill the five requirements of a stable occlusion. Most of our patients have many signs of dental instability which can result in complex treatment plans. In many cases, coordination is needed with other dental specialists as well as laboratory technicians.
